Here's a copy of our objection to application 17/1008/F by the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk to itself to move the bus gate north, remove the restrictions south of there and add three turnings off Harding's Way. It's a bit long but that's because the plan seems to contradict so many policies, ...
Please share widely! Explanation from County Councillor Alex Kemp - "nearly all Borough Councillors at last Wednesday's Regeneration Panel spoke in favour of opening up Hardings Way to traffic, for the benefit of 436 flats they want on the Boal Quay. They ignored the objections of Whitefriars School I forwarded to them.This will ruin the ...
The borough council's Regeneration and Development Panel will receive a "final options report" at this evening's meeting (28 June 2017) which claims that "55% preferred Option 3" - this is clearly misleading, because the Public Consultation Report claimed support for the three options added up to 100% and we know there were people who opposed ...
The 2008/9 project that widened Harding's Way and allowed buses onto it included five cycling measures, which I (MJ) feel was an attempt to persuade cyclists to support the project. Only one has been completed so far and the other four remain needed. So can you understand why some of us are angry about the ...

With reference to the King's Lynn Riverfront Delivery Plan, King's Lynn and West Norfolk Bike Users Group would like to express its absolute opposition to the proposal to open Harding's Way to all traffic. This route, which was originally open only to cyclists and pedestrians, and was opened to buses in 2011, currently provides a ...
Please help defend National Cycle Route 1 by responding to the King's Lynn riverfront consultation and: answer NO to "Could land at the Nar Loop be used for public car parking" (the Nar Loop can only be accessed from Hardings Way); answer NO to "Should Hardings Way be opened to traffic"; REJECT all three options ...
The Sand Line cycle track is being resurfaced and may be closed 9am-3pm for four weeks from Monday 9 May. The diversion (eastbound) will be by continuing along National Route 1 to the Hulton Road slip, right onto Queen Mary Road, straight on to Parkway, then right onto Bridge Way cycle track - the westbound ...
Previously on KLWNBUG... we criticised the initial plans for the new Lynnsport-Edward Benefer Way road that would have replaced part of the Sandringham Railway cycle path and added dangerous crossings; and then our volunteers (Pete, Rob, myself and many others - including friends at our national body Cyclenation and the charities Sustrans and CTC) helped ...
Responding to proposed plans for new buildings and changes is one of the few ways that we can tell developers what local cyclists want. Sadly, many developers either come from far away places where few people cycle or they seem simply not to understand what local cycling policies mean or something. Council officers spot some ...
